Samantha (Japanese: サユリ Sayuri) is a one-time character in the Pokémon a who appeared in Once in a Mawile when the group were travelling across Izabe Island. She is a performer who does routines with ribbons.

Samantha owns a Mawile that has many crushes. It fell for Brock's Lombre but Lombre was uninterested, much to the dismay of Brock who wanted to use it get closer to Samantha. After evolving into Ludicolo, it saw Mawile in a new light, but by that time Mawile had already moved on to a Psyduck belonging to Georgio.

For some reason, Samantha had a Water Stone in her backpack, which was what allowed Lombre to evolve.
